Through numerous programs, GIBS actively helps its students gain significant industry exposure. The Institute frequently hosts guest lectures and workshops with experts from within industry, as well as top corporate executives and leaders from all major fields. Students have the opportunity to gain an understanding of how businesses operate and the current trends associated with them via guest speakers. GIBS also has several Industrial Visits Facility (IVF) locations throughout the State where students visit companies in various industries such as IT, manufacturing, fast moving consumer products (FMCG), Banking/Finance, Retailing, and others. These trips allow students to experience what it is like inside of an organisation first-hand to understand workflows and processes. In addition, GIBS creates opportunities for its students to complete real-world assignments, participate in case study analysis, and undertake internships either during their study at GIBS or as part of their career path. By bringing together industry professionals, applying these skills through live projects, and working on projects that will provide them with hands-on experience, GIBS creates successful graduates who have a full knowledge of how the industry operates and the tools they need to find employment and build careers.

The GIBS Business School has developed a large, varied group of corporations that benefit both student internships and final job placements. In terms of final job placements, over 260 companies were represented during the most recent placement periods, demonstrating an extensive range of industries represented by each company. The companies that have selected from over a dozen industries, such as IT & consulting, Banking & Financial Services, FMCG's, E-commerce, Analytic, Motor Vehicles, Manufacturing, Retail, and Fintech, provide students with a scope of options when it comes to their chosen career path. With respect to internships, 80 - 90+ different companies provide valuable internships for students and many companies will subsequently provide pre-placement offers to high-performing students. Additionally, GIBS also facilitates student participation in startups by linking students to new venture opportunities and the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as well as providing resources to help establish more than 30 student-led startups on campus. Overall, GIBS has a broad, active and well-networked corporate network that assists students in finding employment both in traditional organisations and in new startup environments.

Internships offered through GIBS are much more than temporary job placements; they also tend to function as a "first look" into what an intern's future career could look like through pre-placement offers (PPO). Each year, as a result of the many different factors related to internship placements, there will be different percentages of PPOs received by students. Typically, students who have performed well throughout the course of their internships will be offered PPOs by the same recruiters. Recruiters utilize internships as a means to evaluate the work ethic, culture fit, problem-solving skills and performance level of interns in order to select the most employable candidates before the year's end. Because of these reasons, students who demonstrate professionalism, positive engagement and strong job performance during their internship will be more likely to receive PTO from GIBS.

The BBA programme at Lords University has begun accepting applications for Fall 2026. Admissions officially began January 2026 and applications are available at the online portal as well as the campus offices. For certain courses admission is based on merit only and for others you will have to take an entrance exam. As a BBA undergraduate student you can expect a longer admission period (March through September), which gives you ample time to apply, attend counseling and secure your seat. Apply as early as possible to avoid the rush that comes with the beginning of school and to allow time for a smooth transition during the processing of your paperwork and selection for the program.
